SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Two children and an adult were rescued from the San Francisco Bay on Saturday after their sailboat capsized near Redwood City, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Two CDFW wildlife officers were conducting compliance checks on anglers off Alameda in their boat when a distress call reporting a capsized sailboat was relayed by the U.S. Coast Guard, officials said. The wildlife officers, Warden Jacob Gonsalves and Warden Cameron Roth, responded to the USCG and learned that no other rescue boats were nearby.
The two wardens piloted 15 miles through rough bay waters to reach the capsized boat with three people in the water, including two children. All three were wearing life jackets and told the rescuers that they had been in the water clinging to the overturned boat for approximately one hour, CDFW said…
